Calls for Bawumia’s health report ‘hypocritical’ – Kyei-Mensah

Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu

The Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu, has suggested that the Minority’s calls for full disclosure of the medical condition of the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, are hypocritical.

Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu also described the calls as “preposterous”.

He explained that, similar calls had been made to the government which had been in place during the tenure of the late President John Evans Atta Mills, prior to his death in 2012.

He recalled that those requests were rebuffed by state officials, and so it was surprising that the opposition is insistent on being given full details of the current status of the Vice President.

“For now, I think it’s most preposterous for anybody to say that let’s demand the report, what report? The report, based on suspicion?” he said.

“This is the same call that I made of late president Mills. Those who to this day are resisting it, are the same people who are now saying this”

Dr Mahamudu Bawumia left Ghana for the United Kingdom (UK) on medical leave last Friday, on the advice of his Ghanaian doctors after taking ill.

It is as yet unclear what ailment the Vice President is suffering from.
